JSLEE and SIP-Servlets Interoperability with Mobicents Communication Platform

Abstract

JSLEE is a more complex specification than SIP Servlets, and it has been know as heavyweight and with a steep learning curve. However JSLEE has standardized a high performing event driven execution environment with a good concurrency model and powerful protocol agnostic capabilities covering a variety of telecommunication protocols. SIP Servlets on the other hand is simpler and easier to get started with for developers with Java EE experience. Its focus is on extending the HTTP Servlets and Java EE hosting environments with SIP capabilities. Hence SIP Servlets is more of a SIP programming framework while JSLEE is a complete, self sufficient application environment, a platform. JSLEE and SIP Servlets target different audiences with different needs but they can be complementary in a number of real world cases. This paper will present a converged application built on the Open Source Mobicents Communication Platform. It will show how JSLEE and SIP Servlets can be used together to provide converged applications integrating with network elements via HTTP, SIP and other standard protocols.
